Looks pretty good! My only input would be to maybe give him some variant of flyby attack or other mobility-increasing traits, since Pazuzu was described as primarily a demon associated with air and the skies, so you'd think he'd have a great deal of experience with maneuverability. This sort of...

Would you say that a warlock is the better chassis for Shamanism then? There aren't really any other Charisma heavy classes that fit really, at least not as full casters.

While I wouldn't want to encourage derailing the campaign, I think that rebellious players in such a setting would definitely be doable, either as switching to a deity more inline with their anti-authority nature, or by trying to push for reformation within their own organization. I would rather...

Damn, Wicht beat me to the punch (and much more thoroughly) for my Mirrors idea. Nonetheless, I would also say you could opt for panes of thick glass-like substances that the characters might have to break or work around, but don't inhibit the eye rays. Can't remember off the top of my head...

I don't qualify it as a “True Player Resource” unless that's what the sum total of the book is about, and you can't even claim the majority of Volo's is for players. The official page count was what,224 pages? I'd guess that by the end 10-12% of the book will be player's options, which does not...

You happen to have a link to the post(s) that did the number crunching on the old ranger? I'd be interested in reading it/them.

That's still 4 elven races currently, or an additional half-elf variant depending on how you choose to slice it. Also...I kinda would say dragonborn replace kobolds. The draconic affiliated lizardfolk themes are all there, what is missing, the trap affinity? Size difference? Being an...

This is such a ridiculous statement I don’t even know where to begin, especially with your clarifications of intent down the thread. “dying for the important members of the team” is not and never will be a legitimate role in the group, which is exactly what your meat shield excuses are. The only...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the SCAG have more subraces for elves and dwarves? I hope we’re not going down that abysmal road again but we might just be. Even if we’re not, I don’t think we need to try a different flavor of the same poison with the exotic races. I would be way more...

I'll be the voice of dissent and vote nay on its worthiness, unless you can find a used copy in reasonable condition for cheap. As others have said, there's some good crunch in there, but most of the book is fluff for the realms, and not even all the realms; just the parts you already probably...

The second one definitely got me the first time it cropped up, but it's one of the easier ones to adjust to. The first one we hadn't bothered to look up because of how rare the exceptions to those would be. Most high-end saves seem to be in the 17-19 neighborhood, and I can't recall ever seeing...

That still doesn't really make it a problem. IIRC Concentration checks are either 10 or half the damage dealt, whichever is higher. With stoneskin up, you would need to take a hit of 44 pre-mitigation to have a DC 11 concentration check. The number of enemies who can reliably hit you for that...

I would say it’s less either of those and more “dartboard”. So we should forgive shoddy design because it’s early in the game and/or not relevant for long? Because I’ve seen people say that high level stuff doesn’t matter because it rarely sees play, and if low level play doesn’t matter...

This in itself is impossible, as aside from usability issues (no way to revive the pet easily) one of the big complaints was just that it was a weak class overall. Anything to address this by nature requires the prior iteration to be left in the dust as far as effectiveness goes.

Kenku, really? Do we not currently have Aarokocra? Is there really that much demand that we need 2 bird races? Most of other other picks seem fine, but this one seems like a genuine waste of ink. The only explanation I can come up with for it is if they really, really wanted an AL legal bird race.

Let me be crystal clear: every table-top RPG developer on earth could band together into one cohesive company and not dent videogames in the slightest. Ever. Last I checked videogames had outpaced hollywood and the music industry for yearly revenue, and it's delusional to think pen and paper...
